CAP PROBLEM OVERVIEW: How to replace an NMS (Netra Modular System) Filler Panel

Filler panels are installed on empty slots only on the front of the modular system, to ensure that cooling is maximized within the system. If you remove a filler panel and install a component, save the filler panel. The rear of the modular system does not have filler panels. Two types of filler panels are used. Solid filler panels cover empty node slots. Vented filler panels cover switches, empty switch slots, the FMM, and server support brackets.

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

1. Follow safety and ESD precautions.

2. Remove the filler panel by grasping it with a hand on left and right sides, then rock it a little while pulling it towards you.

The filler panels are held on by mounting brackets. Two types of mounting brackets hold the panels on. Empty node slots and the FMM have one type of mounting brackets. All other components use another type. The filler panels that mount over the switch locations also have a removable metal baffle attached to them.

3. Perform one of the following steps to remove the mounting bracket:

If you removed a filler panel for an empty node slot or the FMM, use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws holding the bracket to the rails on both sides.

To remove the other type of mounting bracket, loosen (do not remove) the two screws holding the bracket to both sides, then remove the bracket.

4. Save the filler panels, screws, and mounting brackets for use later.

5. To install a filler panel and mounting brackets for an empty node or the FMM slot:

a. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to insert the screws into the mounting brackets to the rails on both sides to reinstall them.
b. Place the filler panel on the front slot to be covered, then press it onto the mounting bracket until the filler panel snaps into place.

6. To install a filler panel and mounting brackets for other component slots:

a. Insert the mounting brackets under the loosened screws.
b. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the four screws onto the mounting brackets.
c. Place the filler panel on the front slot to be covered, then press it onto the mounting bracket until the filler panel snaps into place.
